Need Help Configuring Cisco Aironet 1200 series

Go to solution Solved by Mr.McMister,

When I first got them I ran them without security and they worked fine. I've actually managed to get them working now though. As it turns out it's not simply good enough to have the right settings, but you must also set things up in the right order or else things break and the Web GUI apparently tends to corrupt preshared keys. So I reset things to factory and reconfigured everything from the command line over telnet and now it works, I just have left to configure VLANs on my firewall at my router to have a proper guest network isolation.

I picked up 2 cisco Aironet Air-AP1231G-A-K9 units. I want to configure each with 2 SSIDs, one for a main network and one guest, both with WPA2-PSK Authentication.

I've updated the firmware to the latest Autonomous IOS(system software ver. 12.3(8)JEE).

 

So far I've got both SSIDs broadcasting just fine with clients recognizing the authentication as wpa2, but I'm always unable to connect as the authentication fails.

I have both SSIDs associated with their own vlan setup with cipher AES-CCMP.

Both are configure with open authentication, authentication mandatory wpa with their own unique pre-shared keys and in guest mode so they will broadcast their SSIDs publicly.

All eap or mac authenitcation is disabled or left empty.

 

Can anyone think of something I may be missing?
